Istanbul is a cosmopolitan city that fascinates people from all over the world with its deep-rooted history, cultural richness and natural beauty. This city, which was the capital of great empires in the past, definitely deserves to be visited. If you're worried about where to start exploring Istanbul, Istanbul Classics Tour (Half Day) is your answer. This tour, where we will visit Sultanahmet, where the two greatest empires of the world's history, the Byzantine and Ottoman empires ruled, promises you a journey in time.
Tour Highlights:
-Hagia Sophia (Closed during Friday Prayers)
It was built by The Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in under five and a half years. This mighty construction was used as a patriarchal basilica persisted as the largest cathedral in the world until it was conquered by Ottoman armies and Sultan Mehmet, the Conqueror, in 1453. It was used as a mosque until Mustafa Kemal Ataturk converted it into a museum. Now, it is used as a mosque.
-Blue Mosque (Closed during Friday Prayers)
This mosque is well-known for its exquisite blue tiles and six elegant minarets. Also known as Blue Mosque, The Sultanahmet Mosque took its name from the ruler Ahmet the first. It was built between 1609 and 1616. The mosque stands next to Hagia Sophia.
-Hippodrome of Constantinople
The construction of the Hippodrome started in 203 AD by a Roman Emperor and continued until it was completed by Constantine the Great in 330 AD. The Hippodrome of Constantinople was used to watch the demonstrations, ceremonies, sporting events, and even executions. Later, it was especially used for chariot races, leading to its Turkish name ‘At Meydani’- literally ‘Horse Square’ during the Ottoman era. Many treasures such as the Obelisk from Egypt, the Serpentine Column from Delphi and the Fountain of Wilhelm II can be visited in this area.
-Grand Bazaar (Closed on Sundays)
Being one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world, the Grand Bazaar has more than 4.000 shops and 60 streets where you can find local and traditional products from leather clothing to jewellery and hand-woven fabrics in an authentic oriental atmosphere.
